The numbers on the map correspond to each country's Gender Inequality Index (GII), a figure derived from a number of factors, including the maternal mortality rate, the number of seats women hold in government bodies, and the labor force participation rate. The lower the number, the better the gender equality.

The top ten countries are Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Germany, Slovenia, France, and Iceland. The U.S. is ranked #43 and the U.K. #34. Australia and Canada rank #17 and #18 respectively. At bottom are Yemen, Afghanistan, Niger, Saudi Arabia, Congo and Liberia.
